colouring concrete elevates the humble material
to heart-racing heights and, more practically,
negates the need to tile or clad the surface. hard-
working outdoor paints are one option, but
a stain will prove to be more effi cient, especially
for concrete that is old and worn. Moreover, staining
requires less effort, dries quickly and, unlike paint,
penetrates and bonds to the material permanently.
